**Chapter 129: The War Begins, The Terrifying Tremor-Tremor Power!**
The moment Whitebeard appeared, an overwhelming sense of pressure radiated from him, suffocating and awe-inspiring.
Countless young marines froze in fear just at the sight of him.
Those who had been brimming with confidence in the Navy moments before felt their resolve crumble.
Their confidence dissolved into terror.
This was Whitebeard.
**The Strongest Man in the World.**
Without even lifting a finger, Whitebeard had already halved the Navy’s morale.
—
“Sengoku, is my beloved son doing well?”
Whitebeard’s booming voice reverberated across the island as he gazed at Fleet Admiral Sengoku atop the execution platform, a calm smile on his face.
His voice, gruff yet commanding, carried effortlessly across the battlefield.
In stark contrast to Whitebeard’s composed demeanor, Sengoku’s expression darkened.
“He managed to get this close…” Sengoku muttered, clenching his teeth and glaring at Whitebeard.
The Navy had stationed numerous warships in the outer seas to intercept the Whitebeard Pirates, yet Whitebeard had bypassed them by coating his ships and traveling underwater.
This ingenious maneuver rendered the Navy’s outer defenses useless.
While the Navy had initially held the upper hand, Whitebeard’s sudden appearance shifted the balance of power.
Victory was no longer certain.
—
Standing not far behind Whitebeard, Fang Ye observed the legendary pirate, letting out an internal sigh.
‘As expected of the greatest figure in the pirate world. His composure and aura are leagues beyond me.’
Fang Ye had to admit that there was a significant gap between himself and Whitebeard at this point.
Of course, he firmly believed that he would surpass Whitebeard in the future.
—
Fang Ye’s gaze shifted toward the fleet of pirate ships behind them, searching for a particular figure: **Squard**, nicknamed the “Great Whirlpool Spider.”
In the original timeline, Squard was deceived by Akainu into betraying Whitebeard. In a moment of treachery, he stabbed Whitebeard in the abdomen with a long blade during a moment of vulnerability.
Whitebeard’s already declining health made this injury catastrophic, hastening his demise.
Had it not been for that wound, Whitebeard might not have fallen in this battle. He might even have taken down Blackbeard, the true orchestrator of the chaos, before dying.
Now that Fang Ye stood alongside Whitebeard, he had no intention of letting this betrayal occur.
His eyes soon found Squard among the pirates. For now, Squard seemed perfectly normal, showing no signs of treachery.
But Fang Ye wasn’t fooled.
Although Squard redeemed himself in the original storyline by sacrificing himself to protect others, Fang Ye remained resolute—he couldn’t let Squard jeopardize Whitebeard’s mission.
—
“Father!”
Ace, chained atop the execution platform, cried out as tears streamed down his face upon seeing Whitebeard and the others arrive.
Whitebeard let out a hearty laugh. “Wait for me, Ace!”
—
Whitebeard planted his massive blade into the deck, crossing his arms and clenching his fists, preparing for something monumental.
Seeing this, Fang Ye’s pupils contracted slightly.
He recognized the posture immediately.
**Whitebeard was about to unleash a devastating move.**
—
With a low growl, Whitebeard thrust his fists outward.
“CRACK!”
A sharp, shattering sound reverberated through the air as if reality itself were breaking apart.
The entire sea quaked.
Cracks spread across the air on either side of Whitebeard, resembling an intricate spiderweb, rippling outward with immense force.
This was the terrifying power of the **Tremor-Tremor Fruit.**
Under Whitebeard’s control, its destructive potential was unparalleled, far exceeding what Blackbeard could achieve.
—
“What’s happening…? What’s he doing?”
“There are cracks… in the air?”
Many of the younger marines failed to grasp what was happening, but the seasoned officers were visibly horrified.
“WHOOSH—”
The previously calm sea erupted into chaos.
In the distance, massive waves formed unnaturally, quickly transforming into towering tsunamis over 100 meters high.
The tsunamis loomed over Marineford, blocking out the sun and casting the island into shadow.
If those waves struck, Marineford would be utterly annihilated, along with everyone on the island.
“It’s a seaquake!” a horrified officer shouted. “He’s shaking the ocean itself!”
“This is Whitebeard’s power…”
“Unbelievable… terrifying… He’s a monster!”
The sight of the enormous tsunamis left countless marines pale with fear.
Faced with such a colossal force, they stood frozen, unable to even think of running.
—
“What terrifying power!”
Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords, exclaimed excitedly. “This is why they call him a legendary monster!”
The tsunamis surrounded Marineford, closing in rapidly.
In moments, the entire island would be submerged, and the Navy annihilated.
Terrified, many marines dropped their weapons in despair.
—
Just as hopelessness gripped the marines, Admiral Aokiji leaped into the air.
Raising his hands, he unleashed a chilling wave of freezing energy.
“Ice Age!” Aokiji roared.
—
The two tsunamis, towering over Marineford, froze solid in an instant.
What were once waves of destruction became two colossal icebergs standing sentinel on either side of the island.
The immediate crisis had been averted.
—
“It stopped…”
“We’re safe… thank goodness!”
“It’s Admiral Kuzan! He saved us!”
The marines let out sighs of relief, grateful for their survival.
On the pirate side, disappointment spread among the crew.
Whitebeard glanced at Aokiji floating in midair and let out a gruff laugh. “Kuzan, you brat! Always spoiling the fun!”
—
In response, Aokiji launched an attack.
“Ice Spear!” he yelled, sending several frozen spears hurtling toward Whitebeard.
Without even looking, Whitebeard threw a punch into the air.
“CRACK!”
The spears shattered instantly, along with the very space they occupied.
Aokiji himself was struck by the tremor, his form breaking apart into fragments of ice before falling into the sea.
—
As the icy shards hit the water, the bay froze over entirely, turning into a solid sheet of ice.
Fang Ye watched in awe.
‘Someone like Aokiji would undoubtedly be an S-rank powerhouse in the real world,’ he thought.
Still, Fang Ye wasn’t envious.
At full strength, his destructive capabilities were already on par with, if not greater than, Aokiji’s.
—
The brief clash between Aokiji and Whitebeard signaled the start of the full-scale war.
Moments later, Fang Ye and the other participants from the real world received a system notification:
